The first time I heard Erykah Badu was in the wee hours of the morning on the overnight radio show they played her first single "On & On" and my boyfriend at the time woke me up to listen to it. After that I kept hearing the song but didn't know who sang it. Then I was home from college on some break (I think Thanksgiving or Winter Break) and she was on BET with Big Les (remember her?) and they were at her house. It didn't even seem like an interview it was just like watching a visit to...

**Yep, but dis he implicate the whites involved in many of those decisons? nope....and don't get me wrong, I don't excuse shit black people do wrong...I just do not let house niggs and racist inbreds present ANYTHING to me as a BLACK THING. Now when I brought this to Lofton's attention he gave homeboy a green light and continued to castigate the darkies....In addition, if his concern was just faulty services and incompetence, he would have brought forth the fuck-ups the white folks at UC...

PARITY? That's funny - when I listen to Bloomberg or CNBC each morning on the ride to work I hear about "financial justification", "shareholder value" and "bottom line profits". It seems to me that Sir Jesse Jackson is attempting to apply to Wall street some concepts that don't necessarily fall into their way of doing business - and that is GREEN. Very soon few workers will need to worry about their "Pensions". An increasing number of their employers will be switching to 401k programs. The...

You are showing either you naivete or bias CF. White males hire white males. Period. In fact, there would be no affirmative action in employment if white males could be trusted not to break the law and hire without regard to race and gender. Because they are unable to do so, there must be a law in place to "force" them to do what is right as opposed to what they want to do - which is (like Bush) hire their boys.

I don't think either JWC or SweetWuzzy quite got Nmag's clear point. With all the anti-school desegregation machinations where Whites tried to get government funding for their private schools... I'm like trying to see how come that RACIST history is ignored or forgotten. To answer Sweet... The intention is for Whites to obtain government subsidies for their private school perogatives. The problem and even the reason for concern over integration is how it is an American Social/Political Fact...

Now there is no debating that. Anyone who tries to deny the fact that "school vouchers" have a racist past, and most likely a racist modern-day intent, have their heads buried in the ground. Of course, many White racists will deny it to the end, and their Black-faced, chicken-eating, greasy-grinnin', coon-shuffling lackies will follow them to the ends of the Earth and beyond.

No, MBM, I am not. I didn't start watching or enjoying football until the mid 70s. They were the team that taught me to appreciate the game. The Browns are my second favorite simply because of logistics (and my Mother would disown me), but the Steelers of the 70s were incredible. Lynn Swann, Mean Joe Green, John Stallworth, Franco Harris, Rocky Bleier, LC Greenwood, Jack Lambert, Donnie Shell, Jack Ham, Mel Blount, Terry Bradshaw ... the boyz were bad and I have loved them for years - even...

We, as black Americans, owe reparations for slavery.---Mike Green What a warped interpretation to put into the discussion. It is a betrayal of the best interests of African America. He will be rewarded well, and probably already is. And...it is willful. A boat-load of people, Project 21, who do 'Charlie's Job'. PEACE Jim Chester

it's not that I'm not listening... quite the contrary. I am thinking a lot about what it means to be white and white priviledge. And I do ask questions of myself and other white people. It's an ongoing process and I am doing the best I myself can. I am also thinking about what can bring an end to white 'attitude' and develop consciousness about being white as well as how to build bridges that lead to equal rights and equal opportunities for all. I see all of that as quite a large thing to...

**Democracy and Freedom of Speech my azz: L.A. Times writer defends incendiary Iraq column Wed Jan 25, 2006 5:27 PM ET By Dan Whitcomb LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A Los Angeles Times columnist who infuriated conservatives by writing that he does not support American troops fighting in Iraq -- and calling those who do "wusses" -- stood by the article on Tuesday. Joel Stein said he has been "bombarded" by hate mail over the incendiary article -- which was headlined "Warriors and Wusses" and held...

that's mad! excellent! ok, I'll be going mid Feb, and although I know that Oahu island is the most built up and commercialised, due to budget and time, I will probably spend most the week there... I have a few questions, so can I get back to you in a day or so? I hear the North Shore is very natural and green and worth driving to??? I'm disappointed the big surfing contest is in March coz my boo is a bit of a surfer. Two questions please - safe natural beaches to swim at, and also I would...

I love Coretta Scott King who was forever beautiful, gracious, and just as visionary as her famous husband: Martin Luther King , who was studying for his doctorate in theology at Boston University, had told a mutual friend he was looking for a wife. The friend gave him Coretta Scott's phone number but when he came calling she was not impressed. "I saw this green car coming up the street and this short man," she said in an interview. "He leaned over to open the door, and when I got in the car...

Kweli4Real- Thanks for the knowledge, I really appreciate it. I see why you are The Master of the Universe. Did you know of any sites that I could reference about this topic?? I was not joshin' about your quote. Your quote made me think of a quote by Bob Marley...... "Don't gain the world and lose your soul, wisdom is better than silver or gold." Bob Marley Whom did your paraphrase it from? Pace Tua- My research is not legit like a course assignment. It is a friendly debate with the wifey.

If anything, the aspirin may offset (to some degree) any heart health issues resulting from the E & C. NO CODEINE Period. Yeah, there are usually limits on buying ephedrine for non-businesses, typically 4-6 bottles. Now they lock up the Sudafed & are changing the formula too! Damn druggies! A protein, carb, fat ratio of: 40/40/20 or 50/30/20 is a good start. Buy some fish oil & flaxseed oil capsules. Green tea extract is good too. Bodyweight times 10-12 is a good daily calorie...

The Preferrer You are 74% non-critical of a guy's and/or woman's appearance.You may prefer that a person dress a certain way or really want a great feature or two on them, but sometimes that can be all it takes for you to drop your jaw at the way someone looks. Take lead singer of Evanescence Amy Lee for example. She has some modest curves and a semi goth thing going on. My wife says I'm easy-going...I say I'm empathetic--"it's not easy being green."

Denial runs rampant thoughout humanity. It's silly to outlaw a person's God given right to self delusion. Who care's what the man says or believes when the facts speak differently. Let him provide proof or just ignore him. If he has no proof, how can he be a threat? Just because someone says the sky is green doesn't make it so.

OFF THE HOOK!!! I don't know how else to describe it!! Since I'm at a loss of words to do that, I'll address Yemaya's question! The only thing that wasn't shown on C-Span was the discussion with some of the economic panelists in kind of a question and answer session during lunch. I came in on the tail end of it as I went to eat lunch in my car and hurried back. But other than that C-SPAN stayed with us right to the end! It was a really small place and it was filled to capacity and they had...

Great point. I usually cook at least three to four days out of the week. One of my favorite meals to prepare is vegetarian lasagna with whole wheat noodles, layers of egg plant, fresh spinach, fresh tomatoes, onions, green pepper, and soy cheese. For a side dish, I usually prepare roasted cauliflower with garlic, and side salad filled with a combination of nutrient-packed greens of all colors. For dessert, baked apples with cinnamon. Hmmmm.

Why is that so surprising? You know how biologically diverse most African-Americans are, and probably British Blacks/Africans too (to a lesser extent). The concept of "race" is a Eurocentric, 18th century invention. Technically, there is only one race: Humans. Different "races" like Blacks and Whites are Varities, not "Races". Biologically speaking, a Black man is more genetically similar to a White man than he is a Black woman. There is more genetic difference between genders than races. On...

UN, Great post and great story. I read all 76 comments that people from all over the world made about this story and all of the comments were very positive. Some of the comments reported similar stories like these two: "I am the proud grandmother of 4 wonderful children 2 boys and twin girls and yes the twins are very different, they look exactly like these girls, so not surprising to hear that my son is mixed race and so is his wife. My son is mixed race West Indian and my daughter in law...

No it wasnt..... It was a very simple response....... HB generalized.... I offered not an either or alternative.... just an alternative.... Just my opinion..... but perhaps you're reading way too much into what you think are my intentions....... If someone says all apples are green.... and I say well there's always the red ones.... that's not a hard fast either or situation..... just an option..... there should be no implied cut off.... unless you make it so..... one may not know that there...

Thank you for trying to remember..... I'm struck by a certain piece initially by the melody and arrangement..... My Heart Will Go On..... was haunting and beautiful.... the music flowed.... I felt like I drifted along with it...... Once I learn the lyrics of a song.... if the poetry is moving and something I can identify with.... well... I'm hooked..... then it touches me in my heart and stirs my soul.... forcing my body to want to obey and dance ( used to take ballet)...... I love music....

BLACK SKIN IS THE GENETIC PARENT! Caucasians are albinos Whites cannot reproduce anything but themselves! Through powerful propaganda and indoctrination we have been completely oblivious to what having white skin really means. We have been skillfully mislead to believe that white skin is mankind's anthropological model and should be coveted. However, recent research paints a picture of white skin that is just the antithesis of what we have been brainwashed to believe. The polar bear analysis...

Why do people think that where a kid sits has anything to do with what they learn....if you teach a kid learning principles correctly, they could go to school with green children and be okay. The lack of resources is the only issue that really makes a difference. A good teacher and a headstart during the developmental years (1-7) is all a kid needs to succeed academically. A kid needs to be shown how to perform regardless of where they are located and not believe that they can only learn...

I'll give it a shot, Mr. Chester And actually, as I think about it I do see your point. But, those that are 'black in skin color only' are really no beter than those feed off of us in the same manner as those who don't look like us do. They provide benefit for personal gain, not in order to contribute to the community "goal" of upliftment, as it were. They go around taking accolades as "The first Black this ... and the first African American that ..." But they are much more green than they...

I've had a frank conversation with a fellow brother on this issue. We concluded, on very short order, that any mass-wealth-transfer to african americans on the part of the united state government would not be supported at the outset by tax payers. The conversation ended there. It think it's time for both sides of the issue to revisit "slavery" in basic economic terms. It was a business: right or wrong. Holocoust vis-a-vis Slavery comparisons insult my intelligence. Do apples taste like...

for my man TO! Most people assume the Eagles organization behaved so upstanding and honorably from start to finish. Looking forward to the "other" side of the story. T.O. to tell Philly story in book, disses Eagles in rap -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ESPN.com news services NEW YORK -- Now that he's signed with the Dallas Cowboys, Terrell Owens wants to talk about his two seasons in Philadelphia. He is writing a book called "Ineligible...

Congrats on getting into Spelman. Your parents will eventually get used to the fact you are leaving. Besides, like HB stated, I am sure they are happy that you got into Spelman. It is a great school from what I have heard and seen. Did you get any scholarships? no, they haven't written me about any financial aid offers yet but i hope i get a full scholorship. *********************************************** also my mother flat out told me her opinion about me wanting to be a social worker and...

This is just too tempting; it is like the breastfeeding debate. Here we go. Since you have lived in the US for most of your life, you are aware that, we, American Blacks, say that we are Kings and Queens of Africa. Kings and Queens are well educated people or how could they successfuly run an empire. I am also aware that the first university in the world was in Timbuktu; a major city of the Kingdom of Nubia [correct me if I am wrong] not Greece as Europeans would have the non white world...

And with me, this is also tempting, but I'll pull my punches. Still listen to you. You place yourself above less fortunate blacks, have pride that your kid doesn't attend one of "those" schools, and you flaunt your lifestyle worst than those glitzy video rappers. Yep, I'd say those are hallmarks of "acting white". Yes, I recognize there are ignorant black folks out there, but they shouldn't be an impediment to affect change. Like I say to white folks, you don't participate in the struggle in...

I think you should look at skiing and golfing a little more closely. How much land does a golf course take up? What sense does it make to use that much land for a GAME? How much water is used to keep golf courses green in Arizona? Arizona is a desert. There aren't better things to do with water in a desert. How much does it cost to fly to Colorado to ski? High class almost invariably means expensive. So the status seekers need the well to do to tell them how to waste money to project the...

I see your point, but you assume that people engage in such activities only to be thought of as "high class". Is it really that difficult to accept that some poeple like skiing for the same reason they like basketball? And skiing isn't *that* expensive if you already live in a ski region and buy a season pass. As for all the water involved in keeping the golf greens looking nice and pretty...yeah, it does take a lot of money, but that water in the desert wouldn't have many other uses (not...

Most of the jobs in America are service oriented. So that means if this immigration bill hits growing young black people will be a PERMANENT UNDERCLASS lost in America. With the low scale jobs being immigrant friendly it will be much harder to get those service jobs for young black people. As you see the "young black person" has already been stigmatized and stereotyped as being rude, time consuming, lazy, etc to engage with. That happen first. Greater society thought this was FUNNY and...

if you are sporting the Red black and Green flag and dont know what Nationalism is, something is very wrong with that picture. Just like people tell the whites who come here asking about racism, all this information on the net about Nationalism there is no reason an intelligent black person hasnt studied Nationalism at least from the point of understanding what it is. What I find is a lot of people pic up slogans and wear material but no nothing about what they are representing

WHAT DO YOU WANT? Do you want a homeland within the U.S.? Do you want to go back to Africa? Do you want to be on a reservation Native American style? Would you prefer a federally owned land like the District of Columbia? Do you just want more and stronger African American run cities within the U.S.? Do you support armed insurrection against the U.S.? Should we all move to a state and take it over with a black governor, legislature, etc.? Stop making a fool out of yourself and think about...

According to an article I was just reading... ["Black women stew about the narrow, negative ways they are nearly always portrayed. They are either quick-tempered and full of attitude like Tyler Perry's Madea character or the comedian Mo'Nique, or they are barely dressed and brazenly sexual like the women mimicking strippers in so many music videos" -- http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12305991/] ...black women seem to be at the adverse end of the stick. Lascivious droolers like Neal Bortz and Rush...

Fine, this whole incident w/ the duke university lacrosse team and the stereotypes of bw proves the point that i've been trying to get my friends to see. maybe it's an age thing but most of the black girls i associate with do not find these images of themselves disrespectful at all and actually seem to relish in them and when i try to get them to see my point of view on what it's doing to the image of many bw they tell me to lighten up and that that every woman is portrayed in a sexual way...

Kidding me? That's like asking whether I prefer Hitler or Bush. I might have to think on the matter when Bush considers compulsory Green Bombers youth camps. Would Africans want a Mugabe or a Bush? I'm not sure if a majority of the continent would pick him. Mugabe probably isn't all that sure most of Zimbabwe really wants him. He's been accused of some things that make Florida look vanilla. Maybe most of Africa would vote for him. I really don't know. I wouldn't.
